Well, it’s finally Friday. Seems like it’s taken forever. Also, who wants to take bets on me clocking out this evening and then suddenly feeling like I’m clocking in on Monday morning? You know weekends never work like the work week. It’s going to just go by in a flash, I’m sure. Well, so I have enough energy to get through the rest of the day and then to zip through the weekend, I should load up on bite-sized gaming stories.

Today on the platter we have: Paymaster Games launches Aztec Kickstarter, KaYo Miniatures Running Clown Army 28mm Miniatures Kickstarter, Dhovaine RPG on the horizon for Higher Grounds, Wu Wei hits Kickstarter on March 20th, New Quad Lascannon From Kromlech, Final Days for Dragon Empire Army Up On Kickstarter, One Page Rules Releases Battle Sisters and Dark Elves Lists, Sword Art Online the Boardgame: Sword of Fellows Coming To Kickstarter, Brigade Models Release New 6mm PacFed, Imperial Agents Weekend Promo From Kromlech, and Rebel Minis Releases New Sci-Fi Horror Packs.

It has been a busy week. Work has been full of time working on (redacted). I can’t wait until I can tell you all about it. Other than that, I’m making pizza tonight. And by that, I mean I made my own sauce from scratch, and the dough ball that will be the crust is currently in the fridge, slowly rising. It’ll be brought out when I get home. The only thing I didn’t do was cure my own bacon, grind my own Italian sausage, or make my own mozzarella cheese… though I could possibly do those first two, and might at some point. And as for tomorrow, it’s Board Game Day at the Milton Library, where I’ll be playing Guild Ball and Fujian Trader. Hopefully you have your own gaming plans lined up. With all that going on, it’s best to load up on some bite-sized gaming stories.

Well… that was a bit of an adventure. For those interested in keeping track, Monday I noticed my car had a coolant leak. Tuesday I took it into the shop. They originally said, “it’ll just be a couple hours.” Then they said, “it’ll be overnight (they needed a part).” So, seeing as I was clear on the other side of town, I crashed at a friend’s place (as a 50mi walk home didn’t sound fun), picked up my car this morning, and am now back into the office. Hooray!

You know what I could use? A snack. Or at least some snack-sized gaming stories.

Well, while it seems like we dodged one bullet here in Georgia the other day, only getting some rain. It’s looking tonight like we might get a bit of accumulated precipitation. Though considering tomorrow it’s supposed to get to 38 and the day after it’s supposed to be sunny and 51, I’m not really worried about it. I can’t really say the same for the rest of GA. They seem like they’re going freaking nuts. But waddyagonnado? I’m just looking forward to tomorrow when I’m getting my next tattoo. *squee with excitement!*

Before then, though, we need to get you some bite-sized stories. So let’s go ahead and do that.

Seems that all y’all are crazy… crazy interested in Lobotomy, the new board game from Titan-Forge. In it, you play as a patient looking to escape from a hellish asylum. Or maybe it’s all just in your mind… You may never know. What we do know is that they’ve made it to more than 4x their funding goal already and have various unlocks and add-ons they’ve put on their campaign page.Continue reading →

You don’t have to be crazy to play this game, but it’ll help. … That’s meant in jest, by the way. I’m not saying you actually have to be insane to play Lobotomy from Titan-Forge. It just so happens that you’re playing crazy people trying to escape a nightmarish asylum… or maybe it’s just all in your mind. … Almost reminds me of Brazil.Continue reading →

Seriously, is the week just chugging along for the rest of you, too? It is for me. Seems just yesterday I was working on stuff for Monday. Now it’s already Wednesday. I guess being ridiculobusy before Gen Con will do that to you.

As usual for a Wednesday, we’ve got our collection of bite-sized stories for your enjoyment.

In this batch we have: Some more installments of The Fiver from The Meeple Mechanic, Acheson Creations Releases four new Rabbithole Series Game Pieces, New Dwarf Engineer from Titan-Forge, Skirmish Outbreak Rager Figures to be released at Gen Con, New previews for Human Interface – Nakamura Tower, Menhir Games: New Characters 3D renders for 28mm fantasy, Abba Games Announces Portal of Morth Tower Defense Dice Game, and Simple System Offers Refunds to physical-level Kickstarter Backers.

Titan-Forge has announced a brand new board game they’ve been working on. This one’s a bit of a more dark and sinister theme than Armymals has. The name of the game is Lobotomy, and the goal is simple: get out of the insane asylum. Should be pretty easy, right? Err… maybe not so much.Continue reading →

The work week rolls on. I’m once more in my Wednesday attire (Kansas State Baseball practice jersey over SIUE t-shirt), which is appropriate, seeing as it is Wednesday. With any luck, your week is going by nicely. Here at the office we’re looking to play some Age of Sigmar this afternoon. It’ll be our first time playing. Don’t worry, we’ll let you know how it went later in the week.

But at the moment, we’ve got a batch of bite-sized stories to give you.

This bundle includes: Age of Sigmar Points Calculator & Patch from One Page Rules, some more installments of The Fiver from The Meeple Mechanic, Abyssal Dwarves and Vampire Counts added to Army Throne from Warthrone, New miniature by Brother Vinni: “Project Limes” Commander, Another World Indiegogo campaign: Stretch Goal Unlocked, War Mage Games to launch their Tournament & Transport Solution this week, Cibo’s Little Dudes Historical Miniatures, Interdimensional horrors invade Meridian Miniatures, Ancient Machinery 30mm and 40mm Round-Lip Bases Available from Tabletop-Art, Titan-forge new Ghostbikes, Celestial Knight preorder from Kabuki Models, and Syrinscape Now Compatible with iPhone and Android Phone.

Well, we’re mostly caught-up here after the Expo last weekend. Still a few things to deal with, but my inbox was actually down to a manageable level after going through it yesterday. Of course, it’s now filled back up again, but waddyagonnado?

Another thing that’s full is the box with the bite-sized stories we’ve collected over the past couple days. Good thing it’s time for our regular Snippets post.

Titan-forge is in their last days up on Kickstarter. They’ve blown past the goal and through several stretch goals, but they’d like to go for more before the buzzer goes off. As such, they’ve launched a contest over on their Facebook page. Backers who share their photo can potentially win $160 worth of product.

Titan-Forge has added new Kickstarter exclusives to their X-Terra Space Force vs. Daemonic Kingdom campaign. You can get new objective markers, a new vehicle, or some new artillery. They’ve got a special bundle deal as well. The campaign is more than 3x funded with still 15 days to go.

Titan-Forge has their latest Kickstarter project underway. They’ve left behind the steam and iron for the wide open spaces of outer space. Whether you want some of the X-Terra Space Force or some of the demonic Daemonic Kingdom, they’ve got the minis for you. They’re already more than 2x funded, with some stretch goals already unlocked.

It’s Wednesday already? This week’s going by like last week did. It’ll be Saturday before you know it (and time to play some D&D for me, anyway).

So here’s another group of shorter stories we found over the past few days we wanted to pass along.

After the break, we’ve got announcements about several Kickstarters launching next week (Titan-Forge, Wizard Dodgeball, Ghost Train Games, and Schrodinger’s Cats), some new renders from the ATER Kickstarter, Gioconomicon’s Giocomics now available in English, a new WIP from Escenografia Epsilon, a new release from Brother Vinni, a New Military History: Medieval Wargame How To Play posted, some new WIPs from Abyss, Archimina launched their Kickstarter campaign, and finally, some new concept art from John Kovalic for a secret project he’s working on.

Here’s the latest batch of news snippets for your Sunday reading. There’s a bit of everything. New Skeleton Centaur Cavalry paper minis, a new Inquisitor from Kromlech, a new NOLA house from Finger and Toe, some new fantasy minis from Lone Wolf’s 32mm range, and a whole bunch more to see. Click on through to the other side!

Armymals are funded for a while now but we are trying to get the last rush at the end of the campaign. This is why we are preparing to cooperate with Q-Workshop, the leading prodcuers of dice. They are known for big titles like Arkham Horror, Call of Cthulu, Hordes, Warmachine and many more. We are glad the the dice we offer will be of the same, excellent quality. Moreover, during the campaign we have unlock many cool stretch goals and implemented lots of suggestions posted by the community. We have also decided to include all those great indeas no matter if we reach the specific amounts or not. In other words – more free stuff for our supporters! Join use during those last days for great rewards and fun with Armymals!

During development we have watched countless youtube reviews for inspiration and to compare Armymals to other games. One of our favourite channels belongs to the Undead Viking. He accurately grasps and explains the concept of every game + he is supper funny and positive. We were enthusiastic about sending him our prototype and he decided to feature it!

We are still looking for backers for our Armymals boardgame campaign on Kickstarter! To be fair we want to provide you with all the information we can before you decide to support us. This is why we are realeasing a print and play version (link to PnP). All you need is a printer, scissors and a Rulebook to set up your first competition. All required elements can be found in the Armymals Kickstarter campaign.

Remember to provide us with your feedback, there are still things that we can change if you spot a room for improvement. Check out our campaign, suggest your own Armymals, share the interesting content and join our ranks. Best regards, Armymals crew.

The boardgame of Armymals is a fast and fun experience for 2-4 players. We wanted to keep things simple and dynamic so a single game should not take more than an hour. This is unless you decide to put two copies of the game together for the ultimate 5+ players battle with a Mechasquirrels Module. Our aim is to create an intuitive and accessible set of rules that still leaves space for decision-making and outplays. The game is a good fit for both a family tournament involving kids and a hardcore gaming-session with every player trying to squeeze the most out of the mechanics. All the action takes place on a colorful board with an army of puntastic animal commanders, paintable miniatures, tanks with rotatable turrets and a good laugh here and there.

We figured that the community of boardgames enthusiasts is getting older and that we are bringing to the world and then raising a new generation of players. Armymals with their cute, absorbing critters and intelligible rules could be a great way to introduce our kids to the magical world of entertainment without electricity.

The Kickstarter for Armymals is starting on July 18th. Right before the premiere we are happy to present you the various tanks models of tanks that will be avaliable in KS only. And if you think that lions and hamsters driving tanks are just silly you have to check out the Mechasquirrel. Winter is coming and it won’t stop wrecking chaos around the battlefield unless it stores enoguh nuts. Mechasquirrel is totally playable and will look awesome on the board painted.

We would like to invite all boardgame enthusiast to join our Kickstarter campaign. We are looking for backers and supporters that will help us polish the game. We have a solid base and with your help we can add more characters, game modes, models, graphics and more. Check out our stretch goals, suggest your ideas and become a part of the Armymals community. Pre-order your copy and be the first one to participate in the steel and fur tournament.

Armymals are all new boardgame featuring historical figures from animal history, many paintable models of tanks and terrain and a quick, action packed strategic gameplay with uniqe dices action cards and moving around the 3d board. Designed for younger players but with layers of modes and mechanics that will satisfy even the hardcore gamers.

Remember that hastiest supporters get Early Bids! Join us on Kickstarter on July 18th.

All of the models that we do so far are printed and prepared for casting, most of them are already casted in many copies, so we can now focus fully on finishing these few that are left. Infernal Golem took more time that we expected and steel need some love, bu we manage to finish other almost as big figure. You have seen it only on concept arts, now it is done, ready to be printed. Now, ladies and gents be ready for smashing power of magic runes and pneumatics: here come Ancient Forge!
